[Is There a Draft in Here?]
I'm listening to an atheist,
whose ideas are reductionist,
his knowledge of humanity seems flawed.
The host is being kind
to let him speak his mind--
that morals come from science, not from God,
who blessed his folks with slavery,
supported them in knavery
and killed those who opposed him with great ease.
The scientific morals of
the atheist are devoid of love
and leave us all less human by degrees.
Some potential in the topic, I think, but this is a weak draft. One thing such a poem might ultimately say is that somehow without God what is most human in us is gone.

I like this. I really like the concept that our humanity is of God, we are all of the One. I hope you will make the draft a finished work.
